Car idles heavily, chugs, then dies at stop lights. I took it back to the dealer and he had a sensor replaced, but a week later, it happened again.
If anyone else has had this problem I would appreciate their input.
The a/c is cold, the transmission is smooth and the car is beautifully clean. It is the perfect car for my 19 year old.
If you have oil in the distributor the problem lays there; it burns out the cam position sensor, very common with these cars. The distributor needs replacing, it cannot be repaired.
I've own a 97 Altima too, same problem, engine wants to quit when stopped at red lights. Bring it to the shop, mechanic told me that the exhaust manifold gasket was leaking air, got the fix, problem solved, not quite sure if he really did fix the manifold gasket, but problem solved...
